One suggestion: Instead of using a motor to drive this, imagine having the piston be what pushes the top of this lever out, thus drawing the kicker back in. then, when you want to fire, have the piston pull the kicker, but supplement it with surgical tubing, so you get more force and hopefully a quicker kick, resulting in more power. You'd have to play around with the physics to get the right amount of tension that you want.
Also, are you sticking with the hammer on the end? I myself have always been a fan of a boot on the end......
